This adds caching of the most recent read/program blocks, allowing
support of devices that don't have byte-level read+writes, along
with reduced device access on devices that do support byte-level
read+writes.
Note: The current implementation is a bit eager to drop caches where
it simplifies the cache layer. This layer is already complex enough.
Note: It may be worthwhile to add a compile switch for caching to
reduce code size, note sure.
Note: This does add a dependency on malloc, which could have a porting
layer, but I'm just using the functions from stdlib for now. These can be
overwritten with noops if the user controls the system, and keeps things
simple for now.
Before, the lfs had multiple paths to determine config options:
- lfs_config struct passed during initialization
- lfs_bd_info struct passed during block device initialization
- compile time options
This allowed different developers to provide their own needs
to the filesystem, such as the block device capabilities and
the higher level user's own tweaks.
However, this comes with additional complexity and action required
when the configurations are incompatible.
For now, this has been reduced to all information (including block
device function pointers) being passed through the lfs_config struct.
We just defer more complicated handling of configuration options to
the top level user.
This simplifies configuration handling and gives the top level user
the responsibility to handle configuration, which they probably would
have wanted to do anyways.
Removing the dependency to the parent pointer solves
many issues with non-atomic updates of children's
parent pointers with respect to any move operations.
However, this comes with an embarrassingly terrible
runtime as the only other option is to exhaustively
check every dir entry to find a child's parent.
Fortunately, deorphaning should be a relatively rare
operation.
